About this Tour

Three days in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. Tambopata National Reserve welcomes you with its symphony of sounds and colors that awaken every sense. From Puerto Maldonado, you will navigate the Madre de Dios River to your jungle lodge, spotting tropical birds and lush riverside vegetation along the way. You will explore Sandoval Lake by canoe, searching for giant river otters, caimans, and herons among the floating vegetation. At dusk, a night safari reveals the secret life of the jungle: the glowing eyes of caimans, colorful frogs, and the frantic activity of nocturnal insects. Guided walks along interpretive trails bring you closer to the immense biodiversity that makes Tambopata one of the most important nature destinations in the world.
